@taniwharugby Hopefully, it's just a bit of a cold (although that can be contagious) and not one of his old injuries making a re-appearance.

It would almost be worth giving him the coaching gig just to see the results of his antiquated methodologies and tactics.
Refer to the 1991-93 Balmain Tigers for an example.
I had electroshock therapy to remove that from my memory.

Come on Shag, show some balls and give Dalton Papali'i a bench position or even a start if Cane can't make it. That kid will be a star and it's time to give him a go.
That would definitely take some balls, Gibson missing out when he's the best player in the world would be quite the controversy.

Gibson > Bryn Hall?
I don't think so.

Sorry, should have said - best player in the world outside any North Harbour player.

Balls? Maybe, brains? Nope.
It's only the wobs...

Bench spot? Pfft chuck Papali'i at 6 and bench the flat track bogan.
Exactly what we need a 6 because we don’t have any of those in the squad.

While you’re waiting.....
Richie McCaw was an All Black. Or he was an All Blacks player. Is Richie McCaw an All Blacks great or an All Black Great because I presume that he and Dan Carter would be All Black greats.
Thoughts?

@taniwharugby On the other side though, his ability to lift his physicality (and drag the rest of the ABs up with him) was massively underrated. There was one game against the boks in '13 or '14 where we were dominating you at the collisions. McCaw lifted his aggression at the ruck and upped his workrate. It was incredible. Changed the whole nature of the game.
